MUNN, Roderick A. ``Rocky''

Roderick A. ``Rocky'' Munn, 40, of Windsor Locks, loving husband of Lori (Ricciardi) Munn suddenly passed away on Tuesday (February 14, 2006) in East Hartford from injuries sustained in a tragic automobile accident. Born in Hartford, a son of Helen (Shepard) Munn of Rockville, and the late Ronald Howard Munn Sr., he had resided in the East Hartford area for many years prior to moving to Windsor Locks six years ago. Rocky attended local East Hartford schools and East Hartford High School, and was a loyal dedicated fan of NASCAR Racing. Besides his father who just recently passed away, a brother, Raymond Munn, predeceased Rocky. Besides his beloved wife, Lori, of 18 years, and his mother, Rocky is survived by his two beloved sons whom he especially enjoyed playing basketball with, Anthony R. Munn and Jordan M. Munn both at home in Windsor Locks; two brothers, Ronald H. Munn, Jr. and his wife, Susan, of East Hartford, Richard A. ``Ricky'' Munn of East Hartford; his dear mother-in-law, Nancy E. (Traska) Ricciardi of East Hartford; his sister-in-law, Christina M. Ricciardi of Hartford; and his many nieces, nephews, and cousins that he was very close to. He also leaves behind all the close friends that he has made in the trucking industry, both at Co-Op Farmers Association in Manchester as well as URS/Caron Auto in East Hartford, including his best friend, Steve Lestage. Rocky was a terrific father who always went the extra mile to be sure his family was taken care of. He was always willing to give a hand to help those close to him in need. In short, Rocky had a ``heart of gold''. The only solace we can take from this tragedy is knowing he is in the warm loving hands of an angel who will lead him to his place in Heaven, where he will enjoy eternal happiness. Rocky, we will love and miss you more than words can ever express! Funeral service will be Saturday, February 18, with a Mass of Christian Burial celebrated at 10:30 a.m. at Blessed Sacrament Church, Cambridge Drive, East Hartford. (Everyone is asked to please go directly to the Church on Saturday morning). Private burial will be held at the convenience of the family.
